2018 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Petrol · EA18 ABF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑03‑04 at 48,000 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is stable to improving; after a minor rear brake pad warning and front‑tyre advisories in the March 2025 test, the latest inspection shows those issues have been resolved and no new faults have emerged. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old Golf. Annual MOTs provide a consistent data set, with the only notable deviation being the 2021 failure due to ineffective windscreen wipers. Subsequent tyre wear alerts in 2022 and brake pad wear in 2025 suggest routine consumables have been monitored, and the recent clean bill of health reflects that wear has not progressed to a structural level. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the rear brake pad condition to confirm wear is within acceptable limits, examine both front tyres for cracking, perishing and tread depth, and test the wiper blades for effective clearing. Additionally, a visual check for corrosion on the chassis, suspension bushes and any signs of rust around wheel arches is advisable, as these components can degrade over time despite the clean MOT history.
